The Queen has worn the pretty brooch before at the King George Diamond Day at Ascot Racecourse in July 2022, just a few days after her 75th birthday.
It appears to have a cabochon stone which may be a rock crystal or a moonstone. This can be seen in photos from that date, whereas today's make it look more like a pearl at first glance.
{PS - can someone please remind me how to post photos here? It's been so long since I did it, that age has taken over....}

It would be nice if the Princess of Wales wore the South African diamonds for this visit, they would suit her alot.

The Oriental Circlet is a safe choice for Queen Camilla. Worn a few times by Queen Elizabeth II but not wholly identified with her, but rather with The Queen Mother who favored it and Queen Victoria who was the first wearer. She could wear it with her Alice Keppel synthetic ruby necklace/tiara worn as a necklace.
It would be nice if the Countess of Wessex could be granted access to some of the jewels. She has been a senior working royal for many years now and does not have the jewels to match her status. I am sure she will remain modest in her choices. The now even further removed from the throne 'cousins' like the Gloucesters and Kents have grander pieces. Silly really.
That said, I think we won't be seeing any tiara surprises tonight. Camilla has access to the late QM jewels and those are fit for any Queen.
Same goes for the PoW. She already has been wearing more tiaras and important pieces than her late mother in law when she was PoW.
The PR will never go for any of the major pieces.
Any guesses for the jewels we'll see on Queen Camilla, the Princess of Wales, Princess Royal and Countess of Wessex?
Im not assuming we'll get to see more Royals though the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester might attend also.
